First Snow of the New Year 2017

January 5-6, 2017 We had our first Snow here in the Texas Panhandle. Amarillo received 3.7 inches. Temp dropped to single digits plus minus zero F. wind chills during the night. In fact we will get to 2 degrees F. tonight.

Our VA hospital tries to take care of our veterans. We have several volunteers that do many things at the VA. I drive the parking lot shuttle on Friday afternoons. The veterans we pick up are so grateful for us especially on days like today. They have served their country and put their lives on the line so this is the least we can do for them.

Agreed! And you’ve got snow, Jim? Well, living far North in the state of Texas
i guess that happens from time to time?
We got 30, inches within 48 hours early November, but since then we haven’t seen any snow at all. Even today at the very end of January there is nothing at all where I live!

This is a great place to live. We do get snow some years but we have had some years where we do not get any. Sounds like you all get it every year. I don’t know if we could live some where that stays so cold and snowy for long periods of time. The older we get the more miserable we are when it gets cold. 🙂 Jim

Hi Jim,
Thanks for your answer. And I recognize your grievances! It’s all about what you are used to, I think?
But – I have noticed that my tolerances has shrinked with age. In jy younger days I could thrive at most any temperatures bestween 20 below zero till plus 40 degrees. Nowadays ( at 80) my limitations has changed to between 12-20 plus (Celsius), but I’m hanging in there!
